Notes:
The effect of mechanical mixing on compressive strength, relative porosity and reliabilityof strength data of a brushite forming cement at different powder to liquid ratios (PLRs) wasinvestigated. Mean compressive strengths were measured, associated reliability (Weibull moduli)and survival probability distributions of the data sets were analysed. Relative porosities weredetermined using helium pycnometry. For low PLR (2.2g/ml), no significant differences incompressive strength were observed for either mechanical or hand mixed samples, althoughreliability of the former was significantly increased. At high PLR (3.4g/ml), mechanically mixedcements exhibited approximately twice the mean compressive strength compared with hand mixing,although Weibull moduli remained statistically similar. At medium PLR (2.8g/ml) strength andreliability of cements were similar and independent of mixing regime. For all PLRs, a significantdecrease in porosity of mechanical- compared with hand-mixed cements was observed. Mechanicalmixing of a brushite cement can provide lower porosity, increased reliability and higher strength
